Answer by Mohammad
1. A business process or business method is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular customer or customers. It often can be visualized with a flowchart as a sequence of activities with interleaving decision points or with a Process Matrix as a sequence of activities with relevance rules based on the data in the process.

2. The business process includes:

-Policies, Processes and Procedures
– Manual / Administrative vs. Computer System-Based Internal Controls
-Information Reports as an Essential Base for Executing Business Processes
